Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 972: Xiao Hei Reappears
The next day.

A muffled 'bang' sound was heard from the room again, announcing that this alchemy attempt had failed again, and a burnt smell wafted out.

Ye Xuan stood in the courtyard with a bitter smile on his face. This was the fifth time.

The side room became silent, and time passed by again. Once Nalan Mingyue, who was in the side room, started to refine the elixir, she would immediately throw away all distractions and devote herself to it. Despite this, she was still very nervous. This level of nervousness was not so intense even when she was a child and refined the elixir for the first time under the gaze of her master.

She told herself again and again in her heart that she must succeed this time, no matter how difficult it was to refine the 'Jusheng Pill', she would be able to do it.

A scent of medicine wafted out of the Star Cauldron in front of him, which had grown to more than a person's height, and then drifted out of the room.

Ye Xuan smelled the fragrance of medicine, took a few deep breaths, shook his head and walked into his main room.

He knew that refining pills was not easy, especially high-level pills like the 'Jusheng Pill', but he did not expect that Nalan Mingyue, with the help of the Star Cauldron, had actually wasted five portions of spiritual herbs. Fortunately, he bought a full ten portions of spiritual herbs and spent a large amount of Yuanshi.

Ye Xuan looked towards the alchemy room where Nalan Mingyue was, and gently touched a sea-blue ring on his finger. Ye Xuan sneered. He bought two phantom treasures yesterday, otherwise, he might really be hunted down by the city's royal guards. He and Nalan Mingyue had been checked by several waves of search teams while they were here, but they were confused by the phantom treasures.

With his level of cultivation, it would be difficult for him to detect the change in his appearance even in the Great Sage Realm, but it would be safer if he had one more of this kind of magic treasure.

"The news that I'm alive has actually appeared. It seems to be those two warriors." Ye Xuan murmured.

"boom"

A muffled sound came from the cauldron. Nalan Mingyue bit her lips, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes. This medicinal material failed again at the moment of being finished.

She had already known that the 'Jusheng Pill' was difficult to refine, but she was very confident in her alchemy skills and believed that she would succeed within three batches. However, these repeated failures dealt her a serious blow.

Nalan Mingyue turned sideways to glance in the direction of Ye Xuan's room, then gritted her teeth, took out another portion of spiritual medicine from her storage bag, and put it into the alchemy furnace.

Time passed by little by little, and this time it was quite long. Ye Xuan remained calm from beginning to end.

He had just advanced to the sixth level, so even if he had the Jusheng Pill, he would not be able to advance immediately. He needed to settle down for a while and refine this pill only for future use.

Two hours later, Nalan Mingyue came to his room with a haggard face, her eyes bloodshot and her face extremely pale. She handed Ye Xuan two fiery red pills.

"This is the Jusheng Pill. You can only take one pill each time you break through. Otherwise, there will be a danger of your elixir sea exploding!" said Nalan Mingyue.

Ye Xuan looked at the two pills in his hand carefully, and felt a trace of powerful energy emanating from the two pills, and it even felt hot in his hand.

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Xuan said.

Nalan Mingyue shook her head.

Ye Xuan thought about it, stretched out a finger, and a ray of white holy power shot out from his fingertips and directly penetrated into Nalan Mingyue's body.

Suddenly, Nalan Mingyue felt a gentle yet extremely powerful pure energy entering her body. Not only did she feel that the energy that had been severely depleted from the previous alchemy was instantly replenished, but her cultivation had also improved a lot. She even felt that she was about to break through.

"The origin of the saint!!" Nalan Mingyue exclaimed in shock.

Ye Xuan nodded and smiled, took out a storage ring and handed it to the girl.

"According to the agreement, you will refine the 'Jusheng Pill' for me, and I will keep my promise and give you freedom. There are some cultivation resources in this ring, which are enough for you to cultivate to the Saint Realm."

"This is one of my holy soul threads. With this soul thread to protect you, you can travel and practice alone, and it can keep you safe three times." Ye Xuan shot out another crystal golden thread and wrapped it around Nalan Mingyue's finger.

At this time, Nalan Mingyue had recovered her original source under the infusion of Ye Xuan's Holy Source.

She was extremely excited, but gradually tears flowed from her bright eyes. She suddenly knelt in front of Ye Xuan and said, "Young Master has been very kind to me. If you don't mind, Mingyue is willing to be your maid." Nalan Mingyue said.

Although they had been together for a short time, she felt that Ye Xuan was a good person, and no one had ever cared about her so sincerely.

Although Nalan Mingyue was like a pearl in the family, everyone valued her talent and beauty.

This time, Ye Xuan's appearance undoubtedly changed her fate and prevented her from becoming a cauldron.

When it was time to say goodbye, Nalan Mingyue didn't want to leave.

Ye Xuan sighed, helped the girl up, and said, "You also know my identity. It will be dangerous to be around me. It will be a good thing for you to leave as soon as possible."

Nalan Mingyue pursed her lips, realizing that she would only be a burden if she stayed by his side.

She sighed softly and said, "Sir, if you want it, Mingyue can give it to you."

Nalan Mingyue guessed that the secret gaze last night must be Ye Xuan secretly watching her bathing.

As she spoke, she unbuttoned her dress with both hands.

In her opinion, even if she managed to refine the Jusheng Pill, she would still owe Ye Xuan something and couldn't help but want to repay the favor with her own body.

Being able to practice dual cultivation with a saint and a genius was not a loss for her. This was the first time in her life that she had fallen in love with a man, and she did not want to regret it in the future.

It doesn't matter who you give it to, so why not give your first time to a handsome young man who makes your heart beat faster.

Ye Xuan was startled, knowing that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly held down the other party's hands that were unbuttoning her skirt, saying, "Don't be impulsive."

Nalan Mingyue chuckled. It was the first time she saw Ye Xuan looking anxious. She thought this young man was really calm.

"Young Master, are you afraid of something too?" Nalan Mingyue smiled playfully, and her beautiful eyes looked at Ye Xuan in front of her in disbelief. It was really hard to believe that such a powerful saint could be shy.

"Eat me." the girl said courageously.

what! ?

Ye Xuan's heart was shocked, and he looked at the beautiful loli in his arms in disbelief. He never expected that Nalan Mingyue, who had the appearance of a cute and charming loli, would say such words.

Just as he was surprised, hesitant and wavering, Nalan Mingyue had already closed her beautiful eyes, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Ye Xuan's lips with her watery little mouth.

For a moment, Ye Xuan's heart was shocked. He held the delicate body in his arms, soft and fragrant. A delicate tongue seemed to be a little afraid and awkward as it entered his mouth, bringing a burst of fragrant and sweet juice.

An indescribable virgin body fragrance filled his nose. The girl in his arms had rosy cheeks, and was extremely beautiful and charming, exuding an indescribable temptation.

Even though Ye Xuan was always calm, when he looked at the beautiful girl's face in front of him and recalled the erotic scene he saw last night, he could no longer hold back and raised his hands.

The girl's buttocks were attacked, her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, the expression on her face froze, but her body became more and more soft and weak.

Ye Xuan greedily groped the delicate body of the girl in his arms. After an unknown amount of time, just when he was ready to fight without any scruples.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked abruptly at a certain place in the room, and stopped in shock.

“Quack, what did I see!? Ouch, I didn’t see anything!!”

At the same time, Ye Xuan looked towards the void on the right and heard a familiar voice.

I saw that there was a space fluctuation there at some point, a circle of ripples like water waves, and then in Ye Xuan's sight, a round black shadow slowly squeezed out from the void, as if it rolled out with great effort.

It was as if a round meat egg appeared out of thin air, and a few black feathers fell down?
"Uh~~What is that thing!?" Nalan Mingyue also saw the 'meat ball' that squeezed out from the void, her pretty face was filled with astonishment and confusion.

The corners of Ye Xuan's eyes twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He was speechless when he saw the black rolling ball of flesh and black feathers.

"Quack, Ye Xuan finally let me find you. Where have you been playing recently? You picked up another ugly girl." The black ball suddenly shook, and then, in front of Nalan Mingyue's astonished eyes, it unfolded and revealed its true form. It was actually a fat, black, and extremely ugly black duck! ?
That’s right, it is ‘Qiankun’, also known as Xiao Hei!
